Different types of restraint, both physical and non-physical. The two key elements are one, the restraint of an individual against his will WITHOUT consent; Two, the unlawfulness of such restraint. To give you a Counterexample, if a police officer arrests you, then this is not 2nd satisfied. If this seems like your case let me know. Good Luck, Brian Alex:
